I think this is the happiest quilt I have made recently. Made from a simple block I designed for Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks (Vol. 15), I love how little blocks of color dance across the quilt. Made from all Kona cotton solids, I quilted it with Aurifil White, in a big loopy happy pattern. The back is a great Windham Fabrics wide backing, "Newsprint," designed by Carrie Bloomston.
I am about to enter this in my local Fall Guild show and am glad to also share it in this festival!
If you are visiting this blog for the first time, welcome! I have been quilting for years, usually to relax after work. I am recently retired, and now taking my time and enjoying the process! Like many, I have gone through stages, and am currently quite taken with modern quilts, and bright fabrics! Please look at my work through the years by checking the links in the sidebar. Thanks.
Take care,
Gretchen
